I have a few, but does anyone know of one that will tell me in detail how to actually setup live from scratch to effectively setup a few channels + eq + crossfader + audio interface.

I am just looking for some ideas, maybe some screenshots.

Like I said, I have a few sites I have been looking at..just looking for more.

thank you kindly.

Chewy: Maybe the book on Ableton Live from Chad carrier or the tips and tricks book from Martin Delaney can help you?

You literally need to click and drag an instance of EQ4 onto each track. Crossfader assign is easy - just select 'A' (fader left) on one track, and 'B' (fader right) on another. Use your mouse/midi controller to crossfade (show crossfader = View>Crossfader).

If you have an Audio interface with multiple outs, assign each track to a separate out on the interfce ("Audio to" drop-down on the track).

I'll post a srceen shot for you later, in the meantime:

Learn to "warp" tracks (warping ensures that the tracks will play in sync together - like beatmatching vinl/CD's):

The wiki is fantastic.
